Casting rumors this early usually don’t pan out.

The part that interested me is the possibility of Zod being the villain. If that’s true, then we might get a really awesome Superman fight like what was seen in the last Matrix movie.

Can’t have a Superman sequel conversation without someone bringing up the dreaded plastic S.

But… why not just use Terence Stamp?

Remember in Superman II where Lois was spelling out words of her article? I think she’d say that Singer using Zod would be capital-I little-d little-i little-o little-c little-y exclamation point.

Too young, too pretty to play a convincing Zod. I make no apologies for being oldschool. Terrence Stamp FTW.

Superman 2.0: The Wrath of Zod, anyone?

The real question is will they make Jude out to be a GAY character. I have always questioned his sexual preference when I saw this guy wearing scarves around his neck. Maybe they can make him out to be a totally new character called the Switchhitter.

Do a Google search, people - Law as Zod is an old rumor about SUPERMAN RETURNS that just got recycled for its sequel.
Rumor was, at the time, that Law turned down the part, so Singer wrote the Zod character out of the script — which, after looking at the finished product, was also a false rumor.

Does Brian Singer just cast male actors for roles on the basis of whether or not he thinks they’re hot? I found Brandon Routh to be rather dull in Superman Returns, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Jude Law performance that impressed me. And that guy who played Cyclops sure was handsome; too bad he couldn’t act.

And yeah, stop remaking the original Superman movies and tell some NEW stories onscreen.

IttoDaigoro: What, because he’s gay, you immediately assume that he’s picking up actors because he finds them hot? Well, I for one, don’t even find any of them atractive.

Sure, Brandon Routh is no Christopher Reeve, but that’s an impossible standard to live up to. He did just fine, and nailed that final scene with Jr..
Forget what just gay men think - every girl I know was salivating over Routh, too.

Ha ha! IttoDaigoro slays. Anyway, I don’t care what Singer’s sexual preference is. He sucks. Although this most likely won’t happen and is just another unsubstantiated rumor. DC really needs to push for more input with their properties.

God, why Zod? Why not Brainiac or Bizarro or Metallo? Now that they’ve finally done Lex Luthor to death they want to use Zod AGAIN? Why can’t we move past the first two Superman movies and try someone new as a villain? I want Brainiac already! At least bring in a worthy Superman baddy. Zod’s story is done already.

To have a successful Superman Returns II, you don’t need a big expensive name villan. As a Superman fan over 50…YIKES!!!I feel that you need a good story and some intrigue. And some where in the movie Superman has to recognize/show honor to our men and women in uniform. Maybe a simple salute to the American Flag, or maybe before Superman goes to battle against Zod, Lex, etc. he does a fly over at Normandy. Do you realized how many veterans, families of soilders and veterans would see the movie multiple times just to see a five second scene like that?

Peace amigos………

Zod again.,hmm. Not really who i wanted to see. Now a Superman- Zod fight now with today’s special effects would be awesome, but why repeat it. Now if maybe it was Zod and Brainiac team up, that would be great.
I know WB has been trying to get Jude Law to be in a superhero film going all the way back to Batman vs Superman. It doesn’t surprise me that they would want Law. I wish we would get new villians that haven’t been used such as Brainiac, Bizarro, Parasite, Metallo, Mr. Mytzipltx, Mongul, Darkseid, or even Toyman and Prankster ( hey if we had to have some new villians!)
Bo

I want Darkseid, Doomsday and Metallo!

All this speculation about “remaking Superman 2″ is just that. Just because a movie may (or may not) have Zod in it does not mean that he will be the sole protagonist. Singer himself says it would perhaps have some kind of space invasion element, that could mean anyone from Brainiac to My Favourite Martion, for Zod’s sake!

Personally, I thought the first X-Men movie seemed like a tv pilot, the 2nd was much better (don’t get me started on the third), and hopefully Supes 2 will continue this trend.

Jude Law, Brandon Routh, and whatever that Cyclops dudes name is are all fine actors in this popcorn theatre hell we are all trapped in. Whaddya want, some much lauded thespian that will lower themselves to deign to appear for a massively inflated fee?

P.S. Apparently the new Donner version of Superman 2 will explain why Kal used the crappy gladwrap ‘S’.

I think that getting jude law to play zod would be cool will he have the other two super villains beside him in the superman returns sequel.

IN defense of Singer (regarding his gay bias) he cast Kate Bosworth as Lois…. a young pretty face cast as an older, feisty reporter. At least Routh did a decent job…

metric?countrywide averted photon:feeler?place Jules

Dont get me wrong I love zod but leave him dead or redo movie and let him escape from the Phantom Zone. BRANIAC PLEASE OR both!!!
